Christmas in Abu Dhabi

Although it is warm and sunny, signs of Christmas are everywhere, sort of. Many shops and malls are decorated with Christmas traditional fare. However, lots of decorations seem to be blue and silver. I think its supposed to be kind of Christmas and New Years rolled into one, but it ends up looking like Hannukah.

The girls are having fun with their advent calendar and we're busy making holiday foods and decorations. I think they feel its christmas...

Last night, the "mum's" group gathered at the Intercontinental for dinner. So nice to sit outside and the food was yummy. In the lobby they'd made a life size gingerbread house out of flatbreads decorated with seeds. Impressive!
